Come rest ye merry Intelmen,
Let nothing you dismay,
For now there's CORAL 66
To speed you on your way,
It will compile directly for the 8080A
Oh! Tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
Oh! Tidings of comfort and joy
The word came down from higher parts,
We heard it from their lips,
For use in government employ
In cars and planes and ships,
And so we've implemented it for 8080 chips,
Oh! Tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
Oh! Tidings of comfort and joy.
Very good --- for once, a spoof song that actually rhymes and scans, you'd think it was written by people who understood English!
Bet it wasn't announced at CHRSTMAS, though ;-)

P.S. Does anyone (apart from me) remember the full-page advert in Electronics Times in the early nineties which had across the top, in two-inch high red capital letters, "FUJTISU" ?
Thanks Ian, it has been corrected. I never saw that ET cock-up. Wish I had
I don't know if it was an ET cock-up or a proof-reading cock-up -- but when I showed it to a dozen people in the office and asked them to spot the error, not one did...
